Determining the Top 16

Lu Li defeated five players from the Imperial Secret Service in the single elimination matches. They completely destroyed them in the team match without even using up their reserves. Ruling Sword successfully eliminated the Imperial Secret Service and prevented them from entering the top 50.

Around the end of the year, Ruling Swords managed to break through to the top 16.

It wasn't much of a surprise that they had made it to the top 16 unlike in the Shadow Cup, where they were the dark horse.

On the point rankings, Glory Capital was leading. They had some very formidable players and were lucky because they hadn't faced off against any particularly strong teams. Although they lost once to Seventh Heaven, they were still comfortably ahead.

Coming in second was Ruling Sword.

Ruling Swords wanted to train up their rookies. They had started Kitty Likes Meat and Fat Monkey in several matches and had lost some points because of this.
